Blood Clot in right leg

Hi Friends,

Need some support for a new development in my on going treatment for lung cancer. Two weeks ago I finished my 2 three day treatments of adjuvant chemo. Was looking forward to recovery after 7 months of treatments. Then I went for a walk and my right calf began to tighten and ache.

Thought it was adema (water) but after 2 ultrasounds they discovered a clot behind my knee. Now on blood thinners for 3 months. Not a happy camper.

Anyone who has experienced this your advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much. God Bless you, SteveO

Dear SteveO

Sorry to hear you have had a set back with a blood clot in your leg and unfortunately for some this can be a side effect of chemotherapy.

It is good it has been caught early and can be managed well with your medication.

If you wish to discuss anything you can either email us at lungcancerhelp@roycastle.org or call our freephone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

Kind regards

The Roy Castle Support Team
